Looking back now, for the most part my family has pretty much been on the same page as far as who we liked and didn’t like where Gossip Girl was concerned. We sided with Blair even if we didn’t agree with everything she did. Thought Serena was overrated, Jenny was tolerable until you realized how crazy she was. Vanessa needed to disappear, Nate needed to stop flip flopping. Dan was overly judgmental, Chuck was just Chuck, we couldn’t wait for Eric to grow into the character he became during season four, and a far as we were concerned Lily was pretty much a boss.

We shipped Chuck and Blair in the beginning because we sided with Blair and Chuck was who Blair wanted. You knew they loved each other but it was just a matter of finding the common ground.

Now as far as my mother… sometimes she gets stuck on something and will annoyingly repeat the same stupid mantra’s again and again. Don’t get me started on her twilight bullshit. So I haven’t had time to sit down and talk with her about where she stands on Dair, but I’m afraid she hasn’t given it much thought and still ships the other way.

My sister is easier to understand and usually more readily sees the light. We’ve talked about it once, and we both said that while we remembered and enjoyed the ride of Chuck and Blair in the beginning, and will have fond memories of all the time before he sold her for a hotel, it was clear to see that he wasn’t who was best for her anymore. I still dont know if she’s particularly a full on shipper of Dair but I do believe she ships Blair’s happiness more than being stuck on stupid.

This isn’t the first time we’ve been been a house divided, and I’m sure it wont be the last time. To be honest I think my sister keeps her opinions more to herself than I realized, and I may be wrong with what she thinks about the above but hey, that’s As I See It.
